The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A lighthearted digital party game where you act out prompts with puppets to make your friends laugh.

What players say

Players praise the concept as a blast with friends and family, especially for kids. Mixed with frustration over low replayability: only a few hours of cards, a 4-player cap, no custom content, and no updates since around 2020. Some report the game is unplayable on Quest 2 with no developer support.
